Palacio Manco Capac, Cusco

Palacio Manco Capac is a highly rated boutique hotel with a mixture of historic and modern rooms located a 10-minute walk from the main square in Cusco but worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. The en suite rooms are spacious and elegant, with a mixture of garden and city views. There is also an on site restaurant and a very relaxed pace and friendly feel to the hotel. Overall a superb place to stay with excellent personalised service and magnificent views from the terrace. The house itself shares deeply in the history of Cusco from the founding of the Inca Empire, through the colonial period and to 19th century. In fact there are Inca Ruins on the grounds and what some believe to be the front door of the palace of the legendary Inca founder Manco Capac himself.
